I have this problem with the vista details pane and I have not been able to find any solution. I have Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium version. The problem is that:1. My details pane is missing a lot of properties/tags . Only ones that are appearing are file date, file name, dated created.2. When I go into a MP3 folder, same thing happens as I described in 1. Just the 4 tags appear and I don?t get any other tags that used to be there like artist name, rating, title, etc.3. I cannot edit any Tag in the details pane. When everthing was working fine, I could go in the MP3 folder , I could edit the title, ratings etc. and Save it. But now I can?t do anything, the save button does not appear and the tags don?t go in edit mode.Up till now I have tried the following solutions:1. I have reset all the folder options in Vista by going to Folders/tools/reset defaults. (did not work)2. After resetting the folders, I have also turned on the details pane option under Organize/Layout and the details under the Views. (did not work)3. Under View, in the tool bar, I went to Customize This Folder and chose the Music Folder Option, All Items etc. (did not work)4. Then on the Microsoft site, I found this solution ?

Answer:Missing Properties/Tags in Details Pane

hello

Is this only for mp3 files?

You said "when everything was working fine" what happened? did you download a new program? (itunes,vlc)

In Windows 8.1, I want to customize the properties displayed in the Details Pane for ALL of my MP3s . (That is, I do not mean removing/modifying the properties on an individual MP3/music file. I mean choosing what gets displayed in the Details Pane for all music files.) In XP (which I love and miss), I do believe the Details Pane could be customized easily, but I see no way to do that in 8.1. For example, I want to display Artist, Album, Year, Track #, Size, and Duration ONLY. How do I remove Rating, Genre, Title, etc. Also, can I remove the "breadcrumbs" (...) and have the full line displayed? In XP, everything was displayed. Now you have to hover over something to see it. How is that better? I miss XP's file manager!

How can I re-associate .mp4 files with video details displaying in the Details Pane? After installing the K-lite codecs pack, my mp4's all began displaying in the details pane as audio files (Album, Artist etc) and no longer displays the important video default details (size, frame height, bitrate etc). I assume it was because of incorrectly associating file types when installing the codecs (even though wmv's, avi's are still correct), so I uninstalled the codecs but the Details categories remain for typical audio files. I've exhausted The Google and I'm stumped... any help? (Win7, 32-bit with VLC as my default player) Thanks!

Hi,I'm using Windows 7 Professional x64. When I use Windows Explorer to view image files (jpg, png, etc.), I would like to see each image's dimensions listed in the Details Pane (when it's set to view the images as Icons/Thumbnails, rather than Details). However, the only details that show up in the Details Pane are Name, Type, Date Created, Date Modified, and Size. This is the case even though:* I've checked 'Dimensions' in the 'Choose Details' options* The folder is already categorized/optimized for 'Pictures'* Other folders show the other details I want -- i.e., the Details Pane for my 'Videos' folder shows Length, Frame Width, Frame Height, and other details that I've chosenAny suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

How can I change the color of details pane in Windows Explorer? I'm trying to modify Soft7 visual style to suite my needs.. I've found allmost everything else, but I can't find the way to change this. Is it a bitmap in shellstyle.dll, msstyles, or something else?

I'm running a machine with Vista Home Premium and in a folder I was looking in there is a details pane at the bottom of the folder. Well, I accidently hit 'Hide The Details Pane" button and poof it was gone. Now I can't figure out how to get the details pane back. Any help would be mucho appreciated.

thanks all,toodawgsby the way.....great forum, it's been a lot of help.

Has anyone tried to (or found a third party app) that can put the details pane back to the bottom of the File Explorer windows, like it was in 7. It was of great use to me when reading tags and other information. In 8, it just takes needless width space from the windows.

So, I upgraded directly from XP, I hated Vista and I hated Win7. So. It's only natural that the omittance of the details + preview hybrid pane being missing causes me a lot of mental insecurity and overall discomfort (not literally :P ).

But point is.

Can I move the details pane from the right to the left, where the tree explorer is located?

A long story short is that my cat ran over my keyboard and now all my folders have a preview/details pane I can't get rid of. I read it could be removed by going to Folder Options, General, Use Classic View. Well guess what, there is no classic view! I included two screenshots to show my problem.

I just did a reinstall of XP Pro and am having trouble with video files being "in use" when trying to move/delete them (only a several second lag, but it is annoying me). It has to do with a preview being generated in the details pane in the bottom left corner of Explorer. I eventually figured out how to turn off the preview option on my last install but have forgotten how I did it. Under folder options I have "do not cache thumbnails" unchecked. Is this the setting I need to change? Or is it somewhere else? It seems to me I need an option to not show a preview in the details pane.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Answer:How to Turn of Thumbnails in Details Pane?

I haven't done an XP install, but I have had problems like yours. Here is how I fix them without reinstalling, in case it may help? (The instructions may be different for XP.)

Thumbnails are used as icons when the folder is in Thumbnail view. This is usually not the problem, since they are usually cached after the first time. I turn them off by getting the Properties window for that folder. (I just go to the parent folder and right-click on the folder there, then choose Properties.) Then in one of the tabs, I find the Enable thumbnail view option and uncheck it. But, again, this is probably not the problem.

The preview thumbnail (actually, the whole details pane) can be turned off by unchecking View as Web Page in the View menu in one folder. Or, you can turn it off for all folders by going to View menu > Folder Options > General tab > choose Custom, then click the Settings button and in the View Web Content in Folders section, choose Only for folders where I select "as Web Page" [View menu]

If I want the details pane, but not the preview, I edit the HTML of the window. I don't know if you want to try this, it can be confusing, but here's what I do, just in case:
I right-click on the detail pane (or you can use the View menu), and click Customize this Folder... then choose create or edit HTML document. This allows me to customize that details pane. To remove only the worst case files from the preview, I see if I can find "var w... Read more

I've been trying to re-organize my photo collection. Previously, I had been using Windows Live Photo Gallery to tag my photos, and admittedly it was convenient. Recently, though, the program has gone on the fritz to where thumbnails aren't loading so it's harder to differentiate photos simply by the file name in cases where I have a lot of photos of the same group or folder. While I've tried a lot of troubleshooting to get the thumbnails to load, and would gladly take advice on that issue, in the meantime I'm trying to accomplish the same thing using the details pane in explorer.

When I highlight a photo right now, most file types load the date stamp, tags, rating, author(s) and comments properties in the details pane. However, I'd like to edit the people properties so I can tag individuals in the photos. I have not seen a way to easily do that short of using other software (such as Photo Gallery).

Does anyone know if there's a way to do this through explorer or will it require a separate application?

Hi. According to the final entries on this old thread:Possible to display details pane on bottom? - Page 2 - - Windows 10 Forumsoldnewexplorer doesn't work after the Windows 10 anniversary update.

Recently I was trying to add comments to movie folders so that i can keep a brief description about it when i click on it. It was easy to add comment then i had a bit trouble to get the comment getting displayed in the details pane...after playing with the registry for a while i got that solved as well.Now I ended up with a problem where the comment being displayed eds with just some 3 or 4 words with the remaining given in dots (...) and I get a full display of it when i hover the mouse over it, which obviously goes way in 5 seconds or so.

So what i need is to find a way to expand what ever that is shown in the details pane so that it shows the entire content in consecutive lines without being restricted to one line (without having to hover a mouse)

You might get a picture of it if you have a small details pane on the right and make it show your processor details when you open thisPC.

The details pane used to show a thumbnail preview of the first page of Adobe Acrobat documents when I selected the file. This was extremely helpful to me due to the nature of how I file these documents, as I didn't have to open the files - I only had to select them. As of this morning, the details pane only shows the name of the document and does not display a thumbnail preview of the first page. How do I fix this? Thank you!!

Is there any way to permanently remove or disable all of the various "views" in the Windows 7 Navigation Pane *except* for Details? If a subdirectory contains audio files I *never* want to see "Album" or "Artist" or any of the rest of that garbage. If the subdirectory contains an image file I *never* want to see a thumbnail of images. If I need more information about a file I'll right click on it and select Properties, thankyewverymuch!

In short, when I click anywhere in the left or right panel in the Navigation Pane I never want to see *ANYTHING* except the file name, type, size, and date modified. If it isn't a file (e.g. Network, etc.) just show me a computer or device name, not some massive image of a router or other waste of my time.

I can not change music's rating or other stuff from details pane. In local administrator user I can. Should I change my account type or any help?

Also the music is at external HDDThanks

Answer:The Details pane - Can not modify Music's Rating and stuff

Check that your files haven't suddenly become "Read-only".

Also try running CHKDSK to check the drive.

After I've used one of my external HDDs at TAFE, my PC claims that it is "Read-only" and it takes several CHKDSK commands to fix the problem.Of course after CHKDSK is finished, it says that there weren't any problems.

I was wondering if you know if there is a way to improve Vista's Video Preview on the Details Pane.

The problem I see is that Vista shows the very 1st second of video, while Windows 7 shows the 4th. That's why many of the video previews on the details pane show a black screen on vista instead of actual video.

If anyone else has the answer, I will be really grateful.

I want to make some specific changes to the default Preview Details string for picture files in Windows Explorer. I have found an excellent write-up on how to edit that string using regedit, but the author was only interested in the specific around music. In the attached picture, I show the file properties/attributes that I am interested in placing in the Detail Pane. The current edited string is shown below.

I do not want to see a large space to the right of my photos & files in file explorer. I want to see the full space filled with them. I have been searching for hours for the mythical "General Tab" which supposedly contains the key but it doesn't seem to exist. Does anyone know if this display is possible?

I would like to see more audio details in win10 file explorer preview pane, especially the channels and bitrate for movies in the *.mkv format. (I would like to see if they include DTS 5.1, languages, subtittles etc.)

Hi, I just re-installed windows 7 on my desktop pc and have a question about the settings of the details pane in windows explorer (the one that appears and the bottom when you select a file). Previously when I selected video files (.mp4, .avi and .mkv) I would get the details at the bottom, the video frame width and height, size of file etc.. but since I reinstalled I don't get these details when I select video files. I know its only a small problem but I work with video files a lot and have gotten used to seeing the resolution of files without having to open them. Does anyone know how I can get the details pane to show these details again? At the moment it only displays the video size, name and state.

I googled the problem and NOTHING!!!!! many information NO LONGER is displayed in my details pane in Windows Explorer!!!!!! song length is one of them gone missing (& total length if multiple files are selected) and I use that frequently!!!!! it ONLY shows basic information now such as artist, title, album, and genre!!! but total length is GONE!!! also MANY UNRELATED INFORMATION is now in the details pane for media files!!!!!!! mood of music has been added (never heard of that tag), song rating, and composer now have been added!!!! it even displays ALL THIS SAME INFORMATION for WAV files when it used to be ONLY file size and length for WAV files!!!!!!! WAV is NOT capable of tags so I don't know why Windows Explorer shows this information for WAV files!!!!!!

HOW DO I GET MY DETAILS PANE BACK TO NORMAL???????

Answer:missing information in details pane for media files (such as song length)

My computer has been having some problems lately and I really do not know what is going on.

I'm running a 2008 Toshiba laptop and about a month ago I started noticing that my cursor would randomly turn into a rainbow? this was the first problem I couldn't figure out, even going through forums and forums. Then I started noticing that every other website was being redirected to random spyware websites, even in the middle of viewing a website for over 3-4 minutes it could just randomly redirect me.

Finally, the most annoying thing of all has happened and I can't find ANYTHING about it; when I plug in my mouse everything works fine, but then i notice if i left click it'll open the property pane and also create a highlighted box.. basically any time i click anything, it acts as if i'm pressing the right click 5 times for every left click. This makes it very very difficult to click on links, play games, or virtually use my lap top at all. I have noticed something though, I swapped out my mouse for another and still had the same problem, BUT my touchpad doesn't have any of the problems above?? is it the driver for my USB mouse malfunctioning?If you want the shorter version of that: My mouse changes into a rainbow randomly, i'm constantly redirected to websites for no reason, and my mouse will not stop spamming right click even when I left click but my touchpad doesn't have problems.

Why all file details are not visible for a exe/dll/ocx etc. from windows explorer?

Nope. The information that is displayed is hard coded to show only "relevant" information. I have no idea why "InternalName" is not included, but you cannot change the display.

Being a developer myself, I've sometimes needed this extended information. But my dev tools have utilities to view such version resource information, so it never really bothered me that Windows never displayed all of it....

My previous OS was Windows 7 64-bit. I used rip my favorite music tracks and was able to edit the details in the Details tab of the Properties window after right-clicking on the file name. The system hardware is the same. OS is now Windows 8 64-bit. But when I open the mp3 file's property window and go to the details tab, I get fewer options in detail and I CANNOT edit any one of them. I have run sfc - no problem. I have opened the Explorer as Administrator and still the same issue. Here's the screen capture:

It might help to know that I am the sole user of the desktop PC. And that I have another PC at another place with same configuration also running Win 8 64-bit. On that PC for the same file I see more details on the screen and I can edit the fields. I might post the capture from that PC later when I go there.

Originally when XP installed, for pictures, when File\Properties was selected the pane had two tabs: 'General' and 'Summary'. Now only the General tab shows in the pane. The Summary could then be expanded to 'Advanced' which showed all the meta data for the picture, i.e. details of the camera, exposure, f number, etc. This was very useful.The change may have occured when I included a Windows update. I have included all the Windows updates available for XP from the Microsoft site.Why is this second tab 'Summary' not now available? Any ideas or suggestions most welcome.

I am trying to troubleshoot a problem with my outlook pst files (outlook no longer recognizes it as a pst file following a fresh Office 2010 install- I was using 2010 before the reinstall. I recently had to recover the files from another drive).I noticed the file had a 1982 date (something my sync software occasionally does), thinking that might be the problem).... but I could not change the date on the file!

So I have a more basic problem.

I am administrator. As a test, I created a text file, and can easily change the file name. But I cannot edit any of the attributes under Properties /Details. I want to change the modified date.

If I click on Value, nothing happens (greyed out)

I tried the option to remove personal information - it makes the copy, but I still cannot edit the date.

What are my next steps??

Answer:Cannot edit properties/details of any file

Open Windows Explorer. Navigate to the file you want to edit. Left click once on the file. In the Details Pane at the bottom of the WE window right click to the right of the property you want to edit and that will put the detail in a box where you can edit it.More importantly sort out why the date is getting changed to an earlier date. Sounds like a duff bios battery to me!

Nothing majorly important, no deadline, no urgency, just wanted to know how to do this in Vista.

Now, I don't demand a lot from an OS (Obviously, seeing as this is the Vista section. SLAMMERTON!), but I love the fact that there are so many properties/details to files, and I can choose which ones display/sort in Windows Explorer. I have a good collection of literature in .pdf form, and I'd like to set certain details to catalog them. I have the folder by default displaying details like Authors, Publisher, Pages, Country/region, Description, Company, Tags, and so on. The problem? All those fields are empty. And, when I go to the individual files' properties (Right-click > Properties > Details), none of those fields appear.

Is there anyway I can edit these fields? Ideally, I'd be able to "batch edit" them, so I don't have to go through one-by-one to give 20 books the same author, but I'd settle for one-by-one.

Or, do they have to be a certain file-type to have these fields editable? The only field I've been able to edit was the "Tags" field, and those could only be image files, and that's only when they were opened individually, in Windows Photo Gallery!

I'm the only account on the PC, UAC is turned off, blah blah blah...

Any words of wisdom will be helpful.

Answer:Changing Details/Properties of Files?

Banjo Man - try opening the PDF file then select FILE from the Tab at the top and select

Hi,I've got Outlook Express 6 and occasionally I get what is obviously a spam email. When this happens, I like to add the sender's email (or domain), as well as the return-path email (or domain) to my Blocked Sender's List on my dial-up provider's Webmail Spam Filter. So when I get one of these messages, I right-click on it and choose Properties. The Details tab, of course, gives you all that information, but sometimes I also click on Message Source at the bottom of the Details tab to see if there are any other email addresses or domains listed in there that I can block. (Actually, you can usually get all the information from the Details tab, so I really didn't mean to click the Message Source this time...)So I'm wondering if everything I've described above is 100% safe to do on a potentially harmful email (whether it may have a virus attached or anything bad that can come with a harmful email)...? And, specifically, can it be harmful to click the Message Source in Properties > Details on an email if there happens to be a virus or anything bad in it or attached to it? Can anything get onto your computer by doing that?Thanks!

Answer:"message Source" In Oe Email>properties>details

I've used this method for years to look at suspicious emails and no problem. You are safe because the email never "opens".

Hey,
Is there a way to add 'Download' folder located in the user profile folder to the explorer pane without using 'Favorites'?

Answer:Adding 'Downloads' folder to explorer pane.

Hello Asdf123,

That's what the Favorites folder is for, but I suppose that you could create and use a Download Library instead to accomplish this. Other than this, it's already added to at the C:\Users\(user-name)\Downloads location, but you have to open and expand your way down to that location under the Computer group in the navigation pane.

I would really like to remove the name, photo, and details of the person who built my computer, from the My Computer Properties page. It's no longer relevant; but I can't see how to do it. Anyone know?

There are several articles on how to remove existing features/groups from the Windows Explorer navigation pane. Is it possible to add a new folder or shortcut to the navigation pane either by editing the registry to create a new navigation pane entry or to change what a current feature, say favorites, actually points to (in this case C:\Users\user-name\Links)?

Hello, I was wondering about the possibility to increase the images thumbnail size on the details pane in file explorer, and to make the panel maller than allowed by default. Is it possible?Thank you for your help

Answer:adjust file preview size on file explorer details pane

There seems to be a minimum size which is pre-defined, you cannot make it smaller. The preview and details pane size is set by the DetailsContainerSizer binary value in the Registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Modules\GlobalSettings\SizerI do not know of way to make the thumbnail larger in the details pane. It is larger in the preview pane.

I need to send someone some contact details but those contact details need to be in the message text and not send as an attachment (I don?t know if the receiver can open vcf- or msg-files).How can I quickly insert these details?

i want to have a clickable button, but id like it to look nice, like a button thats been made in photoshop or something, i can prolly get someone to make the image but what would be the code needed?

thanks

Answer:Adding properties to a button

The basic code would be the img tag with an onclidk attribute, although some browsers like you to use the a tag, like this: Code: <a href=...><img src=picture.gif></a>If you want the button to go to another page, this is the probably the way to go, except that it will put a highlight around the image. To avoid that, use this code: Code: <a href=...><img src=picture.gif border="0"></a>If you have an OK and a Cancel button, you could allow the border around the recommended button. If you use a larger number for the border, such as 10, it will make a wider border around the picture.

Hello, this if my first forum post, pretty much ever. I'm an aspiring author, so I use Microsoft office Word 2010 quite a bit on my laptop. I tried adding properties to my latest document such as Author, and my computer kept coming back to me with the error code 0x80004005. I know that the properties aren't exactly a big deal on a word document, but I'm trying to figure out how to fix my various computer issues whenever they come up. If anyone has ever run across this error in the way I have, please let me know. I'm a bit of a computer novice, so please, don't use too many computer savvy terms while trying to explain it, thank you.

Answer:Error 0x80004005 While adding details to word document

Hi, welcome to Seen Forums.

Are you using Norton Anti-virus by chance? I had a customer a number of years ago who had this problem. Was related to Norton's script blocking

Also, have you checked out this post for other ideas... error 0x80004005

Does anyone know how to add custom information to Control Panel\System window that comes up when right clicking on My Computer and going to Properties?

I know about the OEM registry key information where I can change the support phone number and website and change the manufacturer name. I was wondering if there is a way to add a whole new section to this page though with all custom information in it. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

I want to add 'properties' to some large folders of photos of ancestors.I am trying to label the image with a meaningful name, but want to add more in the properties option. If I right-click and select 'properties'I can add their BMD dates and other details, and the title shows when I hover over the icon. Only the title shows if I open the image in windows photo gallery. Or I could use window picture gallery or m/s Picture gallery.I want the properties of each image to stay with the image when i transfer to an upgraded laptop from Vista.Any suggestions appreciated. I could use Adobe PS Elements or another program, but I suspect that one may might need the program to get to the properties.ALSO, I seem to have lost the view where the properties appear at the bottom of the screen. How do I get it back?

Answer:What method shall I use for adding properties to image files

Yes, it storage in the meta data that I need. I wasn't sure how to explain myself.The post has been compressed, so doesn't read atall well.Many thanks. I'll look into this.Perhaps Irfanview or PSE would put the data in the metadata part, also.

Having decided to use Vista's Mail/Contacts/Calendar, I was quite excited to see that when I hovered the mouse over the Extra Large Icon of a contact, all of his details appeared in the right hand side preview panel ...... for a moment!

Now that capability has disappeared altogether!

I have checked under Organize x Layout that the Preview Panel is checked but it remains blank all the time!

What have I (it) done to remove this handy feature? ........... but there's more ................. the contact's name comes up say michael smith.contact but I only want Michael Smith to show (not the word "contact").When I try to rename it to a straight Michael Smith, Vista gets all upset and starts tellimg me that it probably won't work anymore if I persist!!

Hello,
I would like to obtain few details about Microsoft message analyzer.
1. Does this support TCP, UDP, IPV4 and V6 and UDS (Unified Diagnostics Services) protocol?
2. Does it support adding new plugins ?
Can I write an own plugin which for example performs the following: displays the statistics, display check sum, export the files and save into .csv
format. Then integrate the plugin into message analyzer.
3. What is the cost of the product ? ( Does it have a freeware or proprietary license)
4. What is the hardware requirements needed by this software ?
5. Does it require any external hardware analyzer or does it sniff directly the below network for example: Sniff the 2 microcontrollers communicating on ethernet by connecting an ethernet cable between them and display the packets using this software
on the PC.

6. Does it also support promiscous mode (find below the use case) ?
Use Case : 2 microcontrollers are communicating through ethernet. Between the 2 microcontrollers, I would like to sniff and observe the packets in this software. Because in this case, the packets are not addressed to this PC.
7. Please let me know can I add a custom protocol (in the application layer) as a plugin?
Thank you.

I was hoping to be able to create a folder and be able add it to the Start Menu "Right Pane"( like documents folder, Music folder,etc.) The only things I've that I've found online is adding new folders to the start menus "All Programs" Tab. Is there any way of adding a created folder and linking it to the "Right Pane" menu?

I had to manually find all related files to OE6 to delete it so it would reinstall. Then the updates. Now nothing shows up on the preview pane or when I open the email. I can use Outlook instead but what is wrong? The only view of the message is in properties: details: message source.

Answer:Solved: OE has empty preview pane, open pane

1. With Outlook Express closed, go to Start>Run2. Type in: regsvr32 inetcomm.dll (with the space after "regsvr32")3. Click OK (or press the Enter key)4. Open OE and see if things are fixed

When I open an instance of windows explorer, the navigation pane show little or nothing (no drives, folders, etc.). Also the preview pane does not show a preview for any selected files (See Capture1.JPG).
If I open a second (or higher) instance of windows explorer, the navigation pane functions properly (the preview still does not show) (See Capture2.JPG).
I have previews set to show (See Capture3.JPG).
Also occasionally, the file icons will be blank instead of showing the file type specific icon. When this happens, the address bar also seems to take a long time to load. The load bar will stop before reaching the end and won't finish (See Capture4.JPG).

Does anyone know what is going on or how to fix this?

FYI I am running 64 bit Windows 7 Pro.

Answer:Windows Explorer: Navigation Pane and Preview Pane Bug

Try Explorer++ and see if you get the same problem.

Need to enable "Folders" view.If it works then you can rule out problems with system files and it's probably a buggy shell extension.

I want to add comments to some video files to the comments box which is in the summary tab of the properties menu of the file. I can't add comments to any of them though because this box is disabled (grayed out and unselectable). Anyone know how?

Is it possible to have no Nav Pane when opening a Desktop folder, but have Nav Pane when opening Win Explorer? Like it was in WinXp/Win98/Win95?When I disable Nav Pane, it disappears for Desktop folders and Windows Explorer.

I think the answer was 'no' for Win7.

I installed Classic Start Menu hoping one of it's features could do it. If it does, I've not been able to enable it. Other than that, Classic Start Menu is a super improvement.

For Windows 7, is there a list of the 'Details' available in the Windows Explorer folder view called 'Details' which has an explanation for each of them? Most of them are simple but some leave me scratching my head.

Answer:explanation of 'Details' in Windows Explorer 'Details' view

The "Details" which are available are those you see when a list of files is in "Details" view (as opposed to "Icons" or "Tiles" views.In "Details" view, depending on which column categories you have enabled, you are shown such things as filesize, file-date, filetype etc. If you then right-click any column header, you can choose to hide or show more information columns.I can't see how any of that can leave you scratching your head as it's no different to previous versions of Windows in that respect.

I need a little help with something that seems simple. I am using Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. I have changed the columns in Details view in a folder. However Windows is not populating those columns, so what am I missing? This holds true on both my network drives and my local drives, so I checked my indexing options and they are set to index my local drives, so I assumed that should have at least worked. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Answer:Windows 7 Details View not showing details/data

Welcome to Seven Forums JLH1. Try this:

Right click an empty area in that folder> Sort by> More

Scroll down the list and make sure the categories you want are checked> OK

the laptop is a Dell Inspiron 15–5559. The white LED blinks 4 times then the orange blinks twice.Sometimes it works, but after the first time it started up it barely ever works.I tried starting it with the battery, without it, with the cord, and without that.What’s going on, and how can I fix it?

I have a folder of home videos that I back up to a USB key with Syncback. The key is nearly full and I'm trying to reduce the size of that folder. But here's the thing; If I right-click on my 'Home videos' folder and select 'Properties', it tells me I have 564 files in 85 folders, taking 2.67Gb.

However, if I open the folder and search for *.* to show all the files, then select all, right-click, 'Properties', it tells me I have 2224 files in 249 folders taking 6.41Gb. Still, at the bottom of the Windows Explorer window it says 649 items selected.

This is the case on both the folder in My Documents on the PC and also the matching folder on the USB key.

Treesize also shows 2.67Gb for both folders.

In fact as far as I can figure, what with everything else on the same USB key, there wouldn't even be room for a 6Gb folder.

I've tried showing both hidden and system files and folders but there's nothing extra to see.

Can anyone please explain this anomaly? I must be doing something wrong but I can't figure it out!

When i access the local area connection window where all the TCP/IPv4 and TCP/IPv6 are. I am unable to click on properties on any of them (yes i am the administartor) By other words, i am unable too access the window where you can change the "Obtain an ip adress automatically" and "obtain dns server address automatically" options are.

When i sellect TCP/IPv4 or TCP/IPv6, the properties button is just gray. As is the unnistall button. When i hit the configure button, i just get sendt back too the desktop. I am also unable to uncheck the TCP/IPv4 or TCP/IPv6 boxes on the left side of the names (or any of the other stuff)

If I hit the install button and try too install i new protocoll, i only get a error message saying "windows cannot find the file"

Iv'e also tried it jusing the administrator account. But it didn't help.

I ran into this issue when I attempted to change the album names of multiple files simultaneously. The properties window that showed up was massively wide - I can't resize it, read the text on the buttons, or even drag to the far end of it. The same happened when I tried to enter Display Adapter Properties from Win10's display settings. I have an unlisted Youtube video showing the issue. (Win10 Properties Error - YouTube). Oddly enough, opening the Display Properties from within the Device Manager has no issues.

In addition, some text in programs and such has been bolded and un-smoothed, and seems to be slightly larger in general. I checked the Scaling in Windows' display settings but no changes there.

Rundll32.exe is the process that runs when I opened up the display device properties.

For what it's worth, I noticed the issue after I installed the lastest Java and iTunes version 10 with all that quicktime crap, as well as Office 2016 using MS' click-to-run customization tool.

I also created a DWORD key in (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CloudContent\DisableWindowsConsumerFeatures) in an attempt to get rid of those recurring games/ads in the start menu. I then deleted the entry, no change.

Hello, not sure if this will help, however I also have Nvidia, perhaps if you aren't afraid to try it, go into your Nvidia control panel and set a custom resolution that is higher than your screen and you should be able to either scroll around the desktop, or see a lot more of it. You might be able to resize the window with that at the very least. Hope it helps, best of luck.

There are several issues that came up when I upgraded to Windows 10. While it is a celebrated and supposedly eye pleasing application, it seems that they have chosen to disregard users and deleted certain preferences from a user's browser. This makes
it practically impossible for the user to log into several accounts, since every single site requires different types of passwords, and in order for a person to be able to log on to the several accounts, a person would have to carry around a folder with about
100 different account names, user names, passwords, answers to who, what, or where, phone #s & other pertinent information to be able to log onto or recover a lost or forgotten password.I really do not like what Microsoft has done with the new browser.
It looks chick, but to me it's unworkable and a nuisance to use. If the Cadillac is not broken, why fix it?

So i recently changed my theme, but somehow messed up my explorer. i have this strange problem where neither the navigation pane or the navigtion bar show up on various occasions. this is usually when I am uploading something to the internet such as to imgur.com or attatching something to an email

Here's what it looks like: http://i.imgur.com/FwWiT.png

Notice the difference between the regular explorer and the messed up one. I can't navigate backwards in the messed up one.

Here's a picture of the program i used to change it in the first place (Windows 7 theme manager):

http://i.imgur.com/UCIzQ.png

Note: I already tried to fix it myself and managed to mess up my explorer and had to do a system restore. not pretty. Do you guys know how i could reset my explorer or whatever to how it was when i got my computer? or how to fix this problem?

If you guys have advice it would be much appreciated!
thanks, Yort

Answer:Nav Pane and Nav Bar gone

Backup all your data to another drive, then use "factory recovery" which will re-install Windows as it was when you bought your computer. Factory Recovery is only available on OEM computers which are supplied with Windows pre-installed. The procedure depends on the make and model.

Sometimes, after filling in details in a pop up window questionnaire - particularly long ones - I find that I cannot get down to click on the "Submit" button. Even when I've dragged everything down off the bottom bar, it is still not in sight. Nor can I drag the window up, to reveal it. Can anyone please tell me how to reach this elusive button to send in details. I am working on a laptop, if that makes any difference.

Answer:A bit of a pane

Try clicking on the minimise/maximise box(es) in the right top corner of the window - you should then get a scroll bar on the right... G

I using Word in Office XP and everytime I start the program, the task pane appears on the right hand side. I go into VIEW/TOOLBARS and uncheck task pane. The task pane closes, but the next time I start Word the task pane is back. How do I stop the task pane from reappearing? Thanks in advance.

One of the more useful features of both Vista and Windows 7 is the inline "Preview Pane" of Windows Explorer.

On little quirk I've discovered in Windows 7 is that when you resize a Windows Explorer window, the Preview Pane is resized also, in favour of the file lists. However, I like my preview pane a specifc size.

The follow method is one workaround I used with success:Click the "Hide Preview Pane" icon in the upper right corner (to the left of Help) of Windows ExplorerResize the Windows Explorer window to how you want itClick the "Show Preview Pane" icon in the upper right corner (to the left of Help) of Windows ExplorerHas anyone found a way (either via a UI Setting, or a Registry entry) to keep the Preview Pane a fixed size, so that the above workaround does not have to be used?

Answer:Preview Pane

Yeah, I'm not to crazy about that one myself. I usually end up just manually dragging the Preview Pane line over.

When I open my pictures via the pane click on the folder the pictures appear but 3 seconds later it goes back to the panes page again this only happens with the pictures pane, another issue is when I open my pictures folder directly the files are there but no picture previews it takes ages for them to populate if I am trying to upload one to another website I cant tell which picture is which, I am seriously thinking of going back to w7. any ideas. Thanks Ed
